The Town does have a water superintendent <br />to assist in the maintenance and operation of this system. <br /> <br />3. STORAGE FACILITIES <br /> <br />Storage for the Town consists of the two elevated tanks. One <br />elevated water storage tank of the system was erected in 1916. <br />The tank is a straight-wall, cone-roof steel reservoir with a <br />capacity of 40,000 gallons. The overflow elevation is 93 feet <br />above the ground surface and the height of the bowl is 18 feet, <br />4 1/2 inches. <br /> <br />The other elevated steel reservoir has a capacity of 75,000 <br />gallons and was constructed approximately 10 years ago. <br /> <br />Water is pumped to the two elevated reservoirs directly from <br />the wells through the distribution system. Storage is <br />inadequate to meet minimum requirements for fire protection, <br />peak usage, emergencies and equalizing storage. The 40,000 <br />gallon reservoir is in need of improvements, but because of <br />its age and condition should be phased out of use when alter- <br />nate and sufficient supplemental storage is made available. <br /> <br />II - 4 <br />
